Journey To The Center Of The Heart
Chapter 3 : For King And Country
Serenity's
high pitch shrilled, stabbed Jadeite's heart. As they fall to the deepest
depth. "im sorry princess, " he thought to himself as he closed his eyes and
they both felt into the flowing river below. Jadeite came into the surfaced and
gasped for air moments after. He swam to a floating wood and hang onto it as
his eyes kept searching for the other life. "Serenity!!" he yelled but to no
avail. Suddenly Serenity popped her head and breath heavily for air.
"Jadeite…help…" as she kept on trying to reached out to the surface but her
dress were to heavy and it dragged her down. Jadeite quickly swam to her side
and swept her up. He wrapped his arm around Serenity giving her the support to
stay afloat while his other arm hold on tightly to the floating pile. "remind
me to kill you when we reached the land," Serenity said as to sound like teasing. Jadeite smiled and replied, "Well,
in that case, you will have to travel alone to the palace, princess." They were
in silent moment when suddenly Jadeite heard a familiar sound. Serenity too
realized that the water was picking up speed. "Oh, god," Jadeite whispered.
"whats happening?" Serenity asked as she watched her surroundings moving faster
and faster. They flowed faster following the rapid stream and both of them
gasped as they saw sharp rocks in front of them. "Serenity!, we re going to
avoid those rocks by controlling these wood, just follow what I do, alright!
Jadeite shouted as the rapid noisiness increased. Serenity just nodded,
frighten once again consumed her. As they approached the first huge rock,
Jadeite control the wood to his right and Serenity followed his example, and
they easily avoided the rock and then there came another huge rock on Jadeite's
side as he steered to Serenity's side and they maintain their position until
they came to the most difficult situation. Serenity gasped aloud and her eyes
were wide open at the sight. Both Serenity and Jadeite looked at each other and
screamed in unison…WATERFALL!!!.
Kunzite was the first to
returned to the Kingdom. The Queen looked at him sadly and Kunzite just shook
his head. "im sorry, your majesty," he said solemnly. The Queen nodded and
walked into the palace waiting for the two Generals and hoped they brought both
Serenity and Jadeite safely and still in one piece.
As she sat silently in her Communicator Base Room , a signaled of
transmission came from the Moon. "oh my," Queen Celest thought of Queen
Serenity crying her heart out if she finds out that Serenity was nowhere in the
palace. She answered her call, Queen Serenity's beautiful face was shown to the
screen, her soft sparkling silvery eyes shone brilliantly as she craft a smile
to her old and dearest friend Queen Celest. "Hows everything, my dear Celest."
Queen Serenity asked softly. Celest was grateful that despite of the Moon
Queen's ability in reading minds, her power was limited within range and the
distance of the person. "Wonderful, Serenity was having a good time here in the
palace. Im growing fond of her, can she stay here for the night until you re
safely return from Tyron? Celest lied but she wouldn't want to upset her
friend and that will make things even worst for the two kingdoms. Queen
Serenity hesitated and said that she will be away about a week or two in order
to settle a few problems that occurred in that planet. Celest made a few excuses that she will take
care of Serenity here on Earth during her away.
As for a moment Queen
Serenity smiled once again and nodded. "im grateful to have such dear friend
like yourself, dearest Celest." They bid farewell and end the communication.
Queen
Celest frowned and quickly walked to the temple to pray for Serenity's safety.
Theres nothing more she can do. Endymion listen to her conversation with the
Moon Queen, he felt weak all of a sudden as tears started to form. "Serenity."
AHH!!!…Serenity yelled
loudly and image from falling of the bridge was still clear in her mind.
Jadeite absent mindedly hold tightly Serenity's hand assuring her that they
will survive. His eyes softened as to tell her how sorry he was. Serenity
smiled back at him to let him know that it was not his fault. 'here it comes'
Jadeite thought. His life flashed in front of him. The expression of how scared
Serenity were unimaginable, no words could be spoken on her feelings that
moment. "mother," was all she said when they once again fall deep into the
waterfall below. Jadeite grabbed a hold on Serenity's hand and he concentrated
on teleporting both of them to safety. Bright light flashes and a screamed was heard before everything faded.
Moment after, Jadeite opened
his eyes and stared into the soon to be night sky. He looked to his side but
didn't find what hes looking for. His face turned pale all of a sudden, 'No!
couldn't be!' He got up and eventually walked weakly to the other side of the
bank while screaming…"SERENITY!!" His power was still to weak to teleport both
of them to safety as the result, only he manage to teleport while Serenity fall
deep into the river. Massive mist from
the waterfall covered the tragic fall. The frightening thought made Jadeite
wanted to die. He failed miserably in protecting the princess.
Suddenly
his eyes caught a sight of golden object floating on the river's bank. He ran weakly to her side and pulled her
out of the freezing water. Her skin and face had turned to a shade of blue. "No!
Serenity wake up!!! Jadeite yelled while shaking her shoulder. Her lifeless
body limped to his shake.
